    (54) Cassette accommodating method and index card for cassette case


    (57) A method for accommodating a magnetic tape cassette and an index card in a book-case type cassette storage case into which the magnetic tape cassette is inserted while being moved in one direction so as to be accommodated therein. An index card is provided which is made of a rectangular sheet material. An end portion of the card is bent so that the portion is brought into planar contact with an inner surface of a rear wall of the cassette storage case when the index card is inserted in the storage case. The bending is performed along a bending line in one end portion of the index card in such a manner that, in the direction of thickness of the cassette storage case, the height (h₁) of the bent portion is smaller than the height (H₁) of an internal space in the cassette storage case when the index card is inserted into the cassette storage case, and the bent portion including a wide portion defined by a distance (w₁) between the bending line and the outer edge of the bent portion, which distance is larger than the height (H₁) of the internal space in the cassette storage case.
